Place 4 cups of water in a
covered glass pot on the stove top and bring to a boil. Wash and remove
any stones from the lentils and add to the pot of boiling water. when the water
begins to boil again, lower the heat to simmer, and continue cooking until all
the water is absorbed (about 20-30 minutes).

Wash, peel and dice the onion,
and place in a large covered glass or ceramic baking dish. Wash, peel and
crush the garlic and add to the onions in the baking dish. Add the olive
oil and red pepper sauce and mix the ingredients together. Bake in a
microwave oven on "high" for 5 minutes, or in a conventional oven at 350º
F. until the the onions become slightly translucent.

While
the onions are cooking, wash and peel the carrots and thinly slice by hand or in
a food processor. When the onions are cooked, add the carrots, mix, and
cook for another 5 minutes.

While
the carrots are cooking, wash and chop the collard greens by hand or in a food processor,
and add to the cooked onions, garlic and carrots.

Open
the can of tomatoes and pour into the baking dish. Add the raisins and curry powder (make your own or use your favorite
pre-blended curry powder). Mix well and bake for another 10 minutes.

Add the
cooked lentils and continue baking until the collard greens are tender (20-30
minutes). Mix about every ten minutes during the cooking process.

Cook
the basmati rice in a covered glass pot on the stove top (we suggest cooking 2
cups of rice in 4 cups of water) You can use the same pot that you used to
cook the lentils.

Serve
the curried collard greens and lentils over a bed of basmati rice.

Enjoy!

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):
'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth
and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to
all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move
on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant
for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very
good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live! (d-11)
